Surcharges, allocations and costing logics often originate from a time when complexity and market requirements were significantly lower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result: decisions are based on figures that are only partially reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The real issue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In practice, we repeatedly see the same challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lack of transparency in cost structures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Outdated costing models<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Missing connection between finance and operational reality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pricing decisions without a reliable foundation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This leads to margins that appear correct \u2014 but are not actually achieved in reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The approach: CORE (Cost &amp; Result Engineering)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With CORE, we create a solid foundation for business decisions. The goal is not just to capture costs, but to truly understand and actively manage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transparency across actual cost structures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linking finance, processes and resources<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reliable calculations for pricing and offers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear identification of profit drivers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What changes in practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With CORE, companies gain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clear visibility into their profitability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better decision-making foundations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher quality of results<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Active steering instead of reactive analysis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In real projects, EBIT improvements of several percentage points can be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cost accounting is not a reporting topic.
